Licorice Laces memories... When I was younger,
my friends and I would go down to the candy store and buy pounds of
licorice laces, and then spend the rest of the afternoon making
jewelry out of the laces, so that we had bracelets, necklaces and
rings to snack on during the day. To this day we still laugh about how
our wrists and necks would be stained red at the end of the day. ~ Stefanie from Illinois
I remember when I
was a little kid, about 8 or 9, and we lived in New Hampshire. Every
year at Thanksgiving time my folks and I took a trip to New York to
visit relatives. We always managed to take a side trip through this
little town in Connecticut for Chinese food, and we would always get a
few pounds of licorice laces, both red and black. That used to keep me
busy for the rest of the trip, and helped my parents keep their sanity
during such a long drive. ~ Lisa from Nevada
As a child we lived in a poor neighborhood but it had a candy store on every other
street back when candy shoe laces were 2 for a penny. They use to have what was called surprise bags for a nickel. Anyway I was always glad
when I got the laces in my bag. What I would do was save my laces until I had at least 100 then I would braid it like it was hair and
connect them all together and slowly eat them. I use to make really cool hairdos out of the candy pony tails, buns, shignons bangs, you name it it was
like hair me when every I would see someone with a nice bun or pigtails I would crave the candy laces and would do anything to get them. That is why I'm sooooo glad I found your website so that I can now order that I can get. My sister to
this day calls every once in a while to tell me she found some in some store here or there they are so hard to find the (real ones) I forget
the company name who made them I can't remember if it was Heide or something. Anyway I'm now a very successful photographer and I still love
my shoe laces. I'm glad I can order them now finally... yours thankfully. ~ Dawnita from Virginia
As a child, I walked slightly over a mile to middle school. Every day, my friend and I would walk to
school with our heads down looking for loose change. Sure enough we'd almost always find a few pennies and stop at the penny candy store
along the way and pick up some individual Licorice Laces for a penny apiece; even if it was just one.
And I could really make those things last, taking small bites and chewing and chewing. One lace would
last at least the entire walk. To me, that's better than any short-lived chocolate bar. ~ Jerry from Pennsylvania
